Can you give me an estimate over the phone?
We cannot give an estimate for landscape installation or maintenance work without first visiting the site to measure and see the existing site conditions.
Is there a charge for an initial visit?
There is no charge for an initial meeting to prepare a weekly maintenance proposal. We have a $125 consultation fee that is charged for design and installation work. This fee will be credited toward your overall project if it develops into an installation project after the initial visit.
Do you have a minimum job amount or size?
We do not have a set minimum amount but generally the following guidelines are a good gauge of a minimum project size:
Monthly maintenance fee – $400 per month
Minimum installation amount – $10,000
Do you set meetings on evenings or weekends?
Typically, we set meetings during weekday business hours from 8:00 to 5:00. If necessary, evening and weekend meetings can be set depending on the availability of the project manager.
Do your landscape architects charge a design fee? How is it applied to the project if I contract with you for the installation?
Our hourly design fee is $100 and an estimate of fees will be provided at the initial consultation. Part or all of these fees may be credited toward the installation of your project.
Do you warranty the plants you install?
We have a 1 year warranty on the plants we install as outlined below and as written in your installation contract:
